1. Chapel of St Peter ad Vincula Marker
There has been a chapel on the spot to your left for a thousand years. King Henry VIII built the current chapel in 1520 after the original burnt down. It is still a working chapel with regular services.
Many of the Tower’s former residents and some of the executed prisoners, such as Anne Boleyn, are buried in the Chapel or beneath the grass outside.
La présence d’une chapelle sur votre gauche remonte à des milliers d’années. Le roi Henri VIII fit bâtir la chapelle actuelle après l’incendie de la chapelle d’origine. Des messes y sont encore célébrées aujourd’hui.
La plupart des anciens résidents de la Tour et certains des prisonniers exécutés, comme Anne Boleyn, sont enterrés dans la chapelle ou sous la pelouse à l’extérieur.
Ha existido una capilla a su izquierda durante los últimos mil años. El rey Enrique VIII construyó la capilla actual cuando la original fue destruida por un incendio. Sigue siendo una capilla al uso con servicios regulares.
Muchos de los antiguos residentes de la torre y algunos de los prisioneros ejecutados, como Ana Bolena, están enterrados en la capilla o fuera,

A capela, à sua esquerda, existe há milhares de anos. O Rei Henrique VIII construiu a atual capela após o incêndio da capela original. Esta capela continua operacional, com missas regulares.
Muitos dos antigos residentes da Torre e alguns dos prisioneiros aqui executados, como Ana Bolena, foram enterrados na Capela ou sob o relvado no exterior.
Nel punto situato alla vostra sinistra c’è da mille anni una cappella. Re Enrico VIII fece costruire l’attuale cappella dopo l’incendio di quella originaria. La cappella è utilizzata regolarmente per le funzioni religiose.
Molti degli ex residenti della Torre e alcuni dei prigionieri giustiziati, come Anna Bolena, sono sepolti nella cappella oppure sotto il prato all’esterno.

W tej kaplicy i na terenie przyległym do budynku pochowanych jest wielu mieszkańców

Если вы посмотрите налево, то увидите место, где на протяжении тысячи лет стояла часовня. Часовня, которую мы видим сейчас, была построена по приказу короля Генриха VIII на месте сгоревшего

আপনার বাদিকের স্থানটিতে এক হাজার বছর ধরে একটি চ্যাপেল আছে। আমরা চ্যাপেলটি আজকাল আউটার পূর্ব রাজা অষ্টম হেনরি বর্তমান চ্যাপেলটি নির্মাণ করেছিলেন। এটি একটি নিয়মিত ভিত্তিতে সকল ধরণের বিবাহ অনুষ্ঠান হয়।
টাওয়ারের পূর্বতন বাসিন্দাদের মধ্যে অনেক এবং প্রাণদণ্ড দেওয়া বন্দীদের মধ্যে কেউ কেউ, যেমন অ্যান বোলেন, চ্যাপেল বা বাইরের ঘাসের নীচে কবরে শায়িত আছেন।
大家左手侧的礼拜堂已有上千年的历史。国王亨利八世在原址修缮之后建造了目前的礼拜堂。这座教堂还在使用之中，还会定期举行礼拜仪式。
伦敦塔的许多前居民和某些被处死的囚犯（例如安·博林）葬于礼拜堂之中或礼拜堂外的草坪之下。

Three queens of England have been laid to rest here at St Peter ad Vincula: Anne Boleyn, Catherine Howard and Lady Jane Grey. They were executed in different places within the Tower, but are commemorated with a memorial on Tower Green...Alongside the Queens, the Chapel is also the burial place of two Saints: the Bishop of Rochester, John Fisher and Henry VIII’s chief advisor, Thomas More. They were executed in 1535 for refusing to declare the King the Supreme Head of the Church. Again, however, we can’t be certain of their exact burial place.(Submitted on September 27, 2026, by Ian Lefkowitz of New York, New York.)
